Chapter 391: The Wei State Chapter, the overlord state of the vassal states that is held hostage with water
In the sixty-third year of Jingtai, the Ming and Wei railways were officially opened, starting from Beijing and ending on the north shore of the Caspian Sea, and the southern capital of Wei (Jiezkazigan).
From Beijing, it only takes 24 days to arrive in the capital.
This is not yet the terminus of the Minne-Europe Railway.
From the station of Chendu, the north-south direction leads to India, and the north leads to Yekaterinburg (Anyi) in the direction of the Ural Mountains.
It is expected that in a year, the railway will be connected to the railway network of the Great Commercial State, connecting the eastern capital of Kazan, the central capital of Moscow, and the southern capital of Crimea.
As of the 63rd year of Jingtai, the railways in the Shangguo have extended in all directions, covering the railway network of the three capitals, which has been very perfect.
Railway technology, completely using Daming technology, the track system and the same as the open rail, only need to be connected, can be realized from Beijing to Moscow, the whole trunk railway.
Railways were also built in the territory of the five kings of India.
It is estimated that around 66 years of Jingtai, the entire Eurasian continent is completely covered by the railway network, and a Ming tourist can take any domestic and international railway line to travel to the feudal country, and the westernmost part can bring back the scenery of the Black Sea.
The end of this railway is eventually Lisbon in Tran Quoc .
The railway will pass through the Cairo Canal and lead to Africa, and the entire railway network of Asia, Europe and Africa will be built before the 70th anniversary of Jingtai.
The State of Wei followed in the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty.
Daming opened the stock exchange, and King Wei invested all his savings into it, and then packaged all domestic enterprises to go public.
The old emperor liked it, so he selected a family from the country and showed it to the old emperor.
As the third brother of the prince's relatives, he is quite filial among the people.
Even, every year, he would go to the recital and ask for Hajj, and with all his thoughts of his father, he was refuted by the center.
Maybe the old emperor also wanted to see his son, but the system didn't allow it.
Zhu Jianqi didn't want to see his own brother, he wanted to be happy with his own son.
But at the end of the sixty-third year of Jingtai, Zhu Youyu, the king of Han, and Zhu Youjian, the king of Liao, went to succeed the domain.
There is still royal affection.
The old emperor's feelings for his sister, his feelings for the prince and his daughter, the feelings of the prince for his younger brothers, and even the feelings of the old emperor and his brother are all commendable.
Speaking of which, it was Prince Yiwen who got off to a good start, although the Zhu family had cut the feudal domain, had Jingjing and had seized the door, in general, the royal family had family affection.
After Zhu Jianqi experienced the feeling of separation of flesh and blood, he was unhappy throughout the first month and fell ill.
It was the brothers Zhu Youyu and Zhu Youjin, who went to succeed the domain, who were happy.
They took a train to the Black Sea.
Although they were the vassal kings who succeeded the vassals, they still carried the mission of the imperial court, and they had to visit Uncle Wang along the way and send congratulatory gifts.
On the third day of the 11th month of the 63rd year of Jingtai, they got on the bus from Jingshi.
Go west out of Yumen and go abroad in the Balkhash Lake area.
There are two railway lines to go abroad, one is to go abroad through Bakkashgar Lake, and the other is to go abroad through Kashgar-Khujand-Tashkent.
The southern route has been suspended as a rail line to India is being built and construction is underway.
After Khujand, a number of railway lines were extended, one to the south to India, another to the west to the Caspian Sea, and one to Persia.
So this line, which is the main trunk line in Central Asia, is under emergency construction.
The trains to the west are currently all going out of Almaty.
And the line of Almaty, to the north or within the territory of the country, is the Ming Dynasty's Wuliang Haidu Division, in Jingtai 60 years to withdraw the capital of the province and become the 55th province of the Ming Dynasty.
In the fifty-seventh year of Jingtai, a huge iron ore area was discovered at the northern foot of the Altai Mountains in Wulianghai Province.
At that time, he was exchanging soil with the Wei State.
After the discovery of iron ore, exploration was carried out, and after the exploration was completed, it was exchanged with Wei State, and then Wulianghai was changed to a province, which completely became the last province of the Ming Dynasty.
Adjacent to Ningxia and the Western Regions, Wulianghai Province has all the territory sandwiched between the Ob River and the Yenisei River, and is the largest province in the Ming Dynasty.
But the tundra area in the north was too big, so the old emperor gave Wei a piece.
In the 55th year of Jingtai, the railway line from Almaty to Tomsk was completed, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty was completely determined.
In the sixty-second year of Jingtai, the railway from Tomsk to Tyumen was connected, and Tyumen oil could just take this train route and send it to Daming.
In the sixty-third year of Jingtai, the railway networks of the Ming and Wei countries were completely connected, and the people of the two countries freely entered and exited the two countries.
At first, Zhu Jianjun, the king of Wei, was worried that the people of the vassal country would flee the vassal country and return to the Ming Dynasty.
However, after the opening of the main railway line for a period of time, few people fled back to Daming, and they were completely relieved, and gradually relaxed the control, allowing the people of the two countries to enter and exit freely.
To be precise, the Ming and Wei states were not two countries, but one country.
The Ming Dynasty and the vassal kingdom were also still one country.
Now immigrants are only the second and third generations, and they still have a deep affection for their mother country, and the more time passes, this feeling will fade and eventually form a completely independent country.
King Han and King Liao looked at the great rivers and mountains all the way, their hearts were surging, and they envied their eldest brother in their hearts to become the emperor of such a huge empire.
But they are concubines, and they can go out to the foreign domain, and they are already much stronger than other younger brothers.
The train entered the territory of Wei.
The king of Wei sent people to guard the border line, waiting for the arrival of the two princes.
Central Asia is very short of water.
Zhu Youyu thought that he would see the scene of yellow sand rolling, but strangely not.
Thanks to the connection of the Zhonghua River to the Ob River, the Ob River was diverted to the south, and under the joint construction of the four countries of Ming, Wei, Ningyi, and Yi, the water of the Ob River was diverted to irrigate Central Asia and even Persia.
From the 42nd year of Jingtai to the 47th year of Jingtai began to put into practice, it took 14 years, in the 61st year of Jingtai, the Central Asia water supply plan was completely successful.
Overall, the extreme water shortage has been alleviated, and it has indeed improved, but the problem of water shortage has not been cured.
This is also the reason why Ningyi and Yi are tolerant of Wei in every way.
They all need the Ob River to inject water into Central Asia.
Water from the Ob River is needed.
If Wei ran out of water, all Central Asian countries might die of thirst, so on the issue of territorial negotiations, countries could only endure Wei's hegemony.
The capital of Wei was originally established in Tyuming, and Tyuming was changed to Xudu.
However, Zhu Jianjun was defeated before he was victorious, and the capital was built on a plain, in case the Ming Dynasty attacked west and annexed Wei, Wei needed a stable backing capital.
He chose to build the capital on Yekaterinburg and renamed it Anyi.
Yekaterinburg was founded in the Ural Mountains, which are full of mineral resources, which can be used as the rear of Wei and the resource capital of Wei.
The train ran through the territory of the Wei state.
The two brothers opened their eyes and thought that the feudal kingdom was poor, but they saw that the vendors next to the station were overcrowded, and they paid attention to the young market, and the goods they sold were all anime characters.
"Second brother, do you say they have authorization?" Zhu Youjin bought a pair of keychains.
I found that this keychain was very neatly made, and the workmanship was no worse than that of Mingren.
Zhu Youyu played: "How can it be sold almost the same as the Jingshi Night Market?" ”
When I asked, I found out that their key chain was an export product.
Of course there is a mandate.
The patent law was still common in the vassal states, and it was granted by the emperor.
After all, it is copyright-free for 30 years, and people all over the world can use it, as long as you register a license card.
Although derivative rights are not free, the price is also very fair.
"What did we buy at the night market?" Both Zhu Youyu and Zhu Youjin were seriously shocked when they saw each other.
It stands to reason that this should be a clear product.
It is impossible for Daming to have no such craftsmanship, wouldn't Jingshi Small Commodity Factory make this money?
After inquiry, I learned that the Ming people also have factories, but they are not as cheap as our factories, and the labor costs of our factories are low, so the price of goods is naturally low.
Looking at the keychain in his hand, Zhu Youyu and Zhu Youjin looked at each other.
"It turns out that under the monopoly of the whole industry in the Ming Dynasty, the feudal kingdom is not so poor that it begs for food."
"Grandpa Huang always said that the added value of products should be increased."
"Well, if the added value of the product is improved, then the low-end industrial chain must be transferred to the feudal country, and the feudal country seems to be making a lot of money by relying on these low-end industrial chains."
"If I'm not mistaken, the population of Wei exceeded 100 million in the 60th year of Jingtai, and this year the population has reached 120 million."
"If there are more than 100 million people in the Wei State, they want to enter the same standard of living as the Ming Dynasty. In my original consciousness, I thought it would never be possible. ”
"So I'm not too interested in the succession."
Zhu Youjin told the truth: "However, this key chain made me see the other side. ”
"Let's go all the way, the prosperity of this Wei country is not much worse than Daming, and even richer than several cities in the Western Regions......"
Zhu Youyu interrupted him: "I don't think it's worse than Chang'an." ”
Yes, it's no worse than Chang'an.
Although this is the western capital of Wei, it can be as prosperous as Chang'an.
Chang'an is the most prosperous city in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, limited by the problem of drinking water, the population hovers at 10 million, and when the Yenisei River is successfully diverted, the population of Chang'an will quickly climb to exceed 20 million.
"Jifan, it doesn't seem to be as bad as we think."
"We may not always be vassals of the Ming Dynasty."
"Our South Korea and Liao can also become a rich national capital like the Ming Dynasty and become a hegemon."
Zhu Youyu nodded.
"No wonder the imperial grandfather is always worried about the problem of hollowing, just look at the prosperity of the Wei State, they just ate into the low-end industrial chain of the Ming Dynasty, and they have today's prosperity."
"If Wei continues to move forward, rely on the low-end industrial chain, develop upward, seize the critical moment of the transfer of the Ming industrial chain, and overtake in corners."
"Perhaps, the Wei State will become a hegemonic country, and even surpass the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent."
After Zhu Youjin finished speaking, he quickly shook his head: "No, the King of Wei doesn't dare, they don't dare to do themselves so well, they are worried that the Ming Dynasty will swallow the rich Wei State in one gulp." ”
"Not then."
Zhu Youyu said with contempt: "Is our father a man who fights?" The eldest brother has the heart to fight, does he have the ability of the emperor's grandfather? ”
"You look at the arrangement of the imperial grandfather in the past few years, this is because I am worried that the feudal kingdom will bite Daming, and Daming will not be able to fight back."
"Grandpa Huang's strategic vision is the top in history."
These words made Zhu Youjin laugh.
remembered the days when his father was dominated by his grandfather in the East Palace.
Immediately, the mood was gloomy, they went out to succeed the domain, and it was impossible to return to Daming in the future, even if they could go back, they would never see their grandfather again.
Their relationship with their grandfather is deeper than that of their parents.
The train gallops across the vast grassland.
The Kazakh steppes cannot grow food because the soil layer is thin, the fertility is too low, the water resources are lacking for irrigation, the climate is not suitable, and the food cannot be produced if it is planted.
In these years, Wei has engaged in planting on the grassland.
King Wei bought a large amount of guano from the Tang Kingdom, and the Peru of the Tang State was a paradise of guano, and the Tang State could become the overlord of South America just by selling guano.
The Wei State purchased guano in large quantities, hoping to use guano to increase soil fertility and thus achieve the purpose of planting.
The Wei State had two major drawbacks, one was that it was not close to the sea, although it had two inland seas, the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea, but it did not have access to the sea.
The other is that the grassland and desert area are high, there is too little high-quality land, and the grain production is too low.
If Wei wants to become a hegemon, it can't do it with just a population of more than 100 million, Wei sits on the treasure trove of resources, and has what oil and iron resources want.
These are the only ones missing.
The Wei State had money, so it began to set up laboratories to study chemical fertilizers.
It can be said that the quality of chemical fertilizers produced by Wei is better than that of the Ming Dynasty, and for the research of chemical fertilizers, Wei is at the forefront of many feudal states.
Because the food problem is a bottleneck problem.
If Wei State does not overcome the problem by itself, he will never want to dominate, and he will only become the younger brother of Da Ming in the future, and the younger brother who follows the trend will be swallowed by Da Ming sooner or later.
Therefore, Zhu Jianjun, the king of Wei, has been laying out the research of chemical fertilizers for a long time.
And the Ming Dynasty changed the soil, wanting to exchange the black soil in the frozen soil for the loess, which gave Wei inspiration.
Wei also has a large area of permafrost.
You can also change the soil.
As a result, Wei experts found that the soil in the permafrost layer did not have the conditions for planting and was not black soil at all.
Because the fertility of the soil is brought about by biological metabolism, the permafrost does not live organisms, even if there is biological metabolism, it is frozen outside the soil, and it cannot chemically react with the soil at all, resulting in a very poor soil that cannot meet the standards of black soil.
Soil change is not feasible.
Wei Guo wondered, can we artificially create soil suitable for planting?
The problem of planting is not only owned by Wei State, but only by Wei Guo is willing to burn money to study and spend a lot of money to invest in research.
Countries like those in the desert area can't engage in ordinary cultivation at all, and they all rely on the food supply of nearby countries to survive, that is, they will never be able to dominate.
King Wei is different, he is also the queen's concubine, and one of the smartest princes in the royal family, he has had extraordinary ambitions since he was a child.
His father taught him from an early age that to be ambitious, you need to have the patience to match your ambition.
Without patience, ambition is always the most useless.
Therefore, after the establishment of the Wei State, he was thinking about the food problem and the port problem.
There is no solution at the port for the time being.
The food problem can be solved through hard work.
In the Kazakh steppe, the poor soil is only one aspect, the soil covers a shallow depth, and the plant roots cannot take root.
Then move the frozen ground out of the tundra area.
The artificial activation of the permafrost to increase fertility, and then spread it on the vast grassland, this investment Wei is willing to pay.
It just so happens that there is little soil layer on the grassland, and adding new soil can solve this problem.
Therefore, Wei imported large quantities of guano from Tang.
The order is signed.
But how do you get guano in?
There is no port in Wei.
Guano is not expensive, and the cost of transportation is acceptable, but if you use a cart to push it one by one, the cost can be terrifying.
There are two roads in front of us, one is to take the Persian Gulf and transport it into the Caspian Sea through the Sui State, and this section of the road needs to be transported by train.
One is to take the Red Sea - Cairo Canal - Istanbul - Black Sea, but also to go through the vassal states of the Sui State, and then enter the Caspian Sea, and it will be transported in.
The second route is more expensive because it is guano from South America, and the nearest is to go through the Persian Gulf.
Both roads pass through the Sui State.
However, the Sui State and the Wei State are not very good at dealing with each other.
The two countries still have disputes over the territory, but this is easy to say, please ask the old emperor to come forward, he will give the Sui State some more territory, and the Sui State will not stumble on this matter.
Because the Sui State is also short of food, he also wants to see if this road can be taken, and when the plan is successful, he can sell this technology to the Sui State.
However, if you choose the nearest route, the cost will also directly triple.
With a small amount of transportation, Wei's financial resources can withstand it, but if it is a large amount of transportation, Wei's financial resources will not be able to bear it.
Because the Kazakh steppe is so big, it is estimated that the investment will be about 50 billion yuan to pave all the soil here.
That's right, 50 billion!
If there is a port, it will be 10 billion, and if there is no port, you have to take two trains, all of which rely on people, and the labor cost is expensive.
You have to mine soil from the permafrost area, and you have to make artificial soil, which is all money.
In fact, in the north of the Kazakh steppe, Wei has farmland, but this farmland is enough for 100 million people to live, and many more people will starve.
Feed these people, or don't eat much meat.
That's right, a pastoral country is reluctant to eat meat, because there is not enough food to eat, and meat has to be sold and sold for food.
Wei was the largest animal husbandry cooperative in the Ming Dynasty, and the livestock meat produced in the pastoral areas was sold to the Ming Dynasty.
In the entire Wei State, the maximum number of people to feed is about 60 million.
But the Wei state doubled, and had to eat less meat to maintain the size of the population.
In this way, Wei also encouraged childbearing.
In fact, the plan to use the Yenisei River was first proposed by Wei.
At that time, Zhu Jianjun gave the old emperor a dismissal, which meant that the Ming Dynasty did not use the water of the Yenisei River, so let the Wei State use it.
The irrigation project to lead the Yenisei River south was first proposed by King Wei.
The old emperor made the final decision in the center.
It was not only for the northern Ming Dynasty, but also promised to be used by Wei and Central Asian countries.
Another disadvantage of farming on the steppe is the problem of irrigation, Central Asia is extremely short of water, and even with the Zhonghua River and the Ob River drinking water plan, water sources are still relatively scarce.
The focus is on the uneven distribution of water sources and their inadequate use.
After Zhu Jianjun succeeded the feudal domain, he began to plant trees on a large scale, planting poplar forests on a large scale in desert areas, guarding against further desertification of the land, and at the same time reducing the number of grazing animals, and carrying out the policy of returning farmland to forests and returning grazing land to forests.
In the 30 years since the establishment of the Wei State, a total of 1.7 billion trees have been planted, and large areas of forests have been artificially created.
Combined with the total number of trees planted by the people, it has reached 10 billion.
In particular, it has achieved outstanding results in the prevention and control of desertification, planting a large number of trees, conserving water and soil, and alleviating the problem of water shortage.
Like the Ming Dynasty, after occupying the Ferghana Basin, a frenzied afforestation program was carried out in areas that were becoming desertified.
In total, the Ming Dynasty planted millions of acres of trees in the Ferghana Basin.
The Fergana Basin has become the fruit basin of the Ming Dynasty, full of delicious fruits, and the entire fruit basin supplies the fruits of the Ming Dynasty and Central Asia.
Just like Tashkent, which was originally the residence of the governor of the Aral Sea of the Ming Dynasty, was later given to the Wei state.
When the Ming army first occupied Tashkent, it was in ruins, and the land was rapidly desertifying.
At that time, the Ming army, under the leadership of Fan Guang, planted trees in the Tashkent area, and now Tashkent of the Wei State is green, beautiful and livable, all thanks to the Ming Dynasty.
All of Central Asia, trees are being planted.
The entire Pamir Plateau is the green ridge of the Ming Dynasty, and when the Ming Dynasty first occupied it, it was already in the desertification by the Mongols.
After more than 30 years of governance, this land has been revitalized, and under the green trees, there are many more water resources than before.
With the credit of qanats, why not the credit of green governance?
Plans to irrigate Central Asia with the Ob and Yenisei rivers have already begun, and it is expected that in twenty years there will be no shortage of water for the whole of Central Asia.
In terms of water utilization, it can even cover the Persian region.
All beneficiary countries should participate in the construction of this project and strive to complete it as soon as possible.
Many vassal states must be willing to participate in the construction, mainly worried that their father is dead, and the crown prince will not care about them after he ascends the throne.
The old emperor gave them a reassurance, the project under construction in the Ming Dynasty must be completed with quality and quantity no matter when.
The Zhu Youyu brothers met the King of Wei in the middle of the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea.
When the king of Wei succeeded the vassal, there were no them.
The old twenties are nearly fifty years old.
Great Wei is building a railway between the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea, which is the newly acquired territory of Great Wei, and he is staring here.
For the sake of the guano plan, the King of Wei intended to negotiate directly with the King of Sui.
The two kings were invited to Baku.
Baku is a vassal state controlled by the Great Sui, and it is located here, which also shows the sincerity of the Sui State.
Great Wei decided to give up a small part of the territory on the western shore of the Caspian Sea, with the circular inland lake of the Caspian Sea as the boundary line (Barkan Prefecture), the coastal part to the Sui State, and the rest to the Xu State.
If it weren't for the sake of bird droppings, Zhu Jianjun would be reluctant to give up these territories.
Xu Wang Zhu saw Zhejiang, but his brothers-in-law were all sons of Queen Tang and his mother.
As a result, he even cheated his own brother.
In fact, Turkmenistan was divided into two, he only kept the part of the annular ocean, and the other parts were split in half and given to the two kings.
This matter needs to be witnessed by the Zhu Youyu brothers.
So this meeting of the three kings turned into a gathering of the five kings.
King Yi will definitely not be satisfied with this distribution, but who cares if King Yi wants it or not, as long as the guano enters the Wei State smoothly.
Wait until Wei turns the entire Kazakh steppe into fertile soil for planting, and see if Wei is the hegemon of Central Asia?
In the 64th year of Jingtai, in April, the five kings signed a peace treaty to redefine the territory.
The unlucky King Yi kept protesting.
The territory on the west bank of the Caspian Sea, which was an enclave for the Sui State, did not border their homeland, and needed to walk through a section of the Caspian Sea, but bordered the Iraqi State.
King Yi is not happy, obviously he should give it to me.
The king of Sui is bad, he talked to the king of Yi, and wanted to tear off a piece of fat from the country of Yi, to tell the truth, he didn't look down on this desert-like land, this place is extremely short of water, and water is more expensive than oil.
His target was Turkey, the Black Sea.
If King Yi was willing to spend money on it, he could have agreed.
In the peace treaty of the five kings, there was a clause to buy soil from Wei, and Sui also wanted to buy a batch of frozen soil, and then mix it itself to make a batch of fertile soil.
Zhu Jianxi, the king of Sui, was also very ambitious.
Just look at the title, you can see that this kind of big title is only sealed by a capable prince, and his father's eyes are poisonous.
He already occupied one of the richest lands in Persia.
After the feudal domain, he also planted trees in the desert area to prevent the land from continuing to desertify, and to save the land that had been desertified, so as to conserve water and soil as much as possible.
He is very short of water in this place.
Iraq is worse than him, and Iraq lacks everything but oil.
Therefore, Sui and Iran have been thinking about how to solve the water source problem.
In fact, it is possible to find a way in India.
But how to protect water through a huge desert is a big problem, and the current technology can't do it.
King Sui was also thinking about this.
A few years ago, some courtiers thought that they could divert water from the Volga River and the Ural River to irrigate the Sui State.
However, these two rivers, one in the Shang State, and the other is the dividing line between the Shang State and the Wei State.
The Ural River is a source of water that flows from the Ural Mountains and eventually flows into the Caspian Sea.
The Volga, the mother river of the Slavs, will eventually flow into the Caspian Sea.
The Caspian Sea is such a huge body of water, and the water sources come from here, the Ural and Volga rivers.
If it were diverted to Persia, the problem would arise, and the Caspian Sea would disappear.
The big merchants didn't want to have a direct border with the Great Sui.
The Great Wei also did not want to completely border the Shang and Sui countries after the Caspian Sea disappeared.
As a result, Sui and Iran are seriously short of water, and they can't drink it when they see water flowing into the Caspian Sea.
The water of the Caspian Sea is undrinkable and has a particularly high salt content.
To be honest, for the Volga, the entire Middle East needs the Volga because there is a shortage of water.
In the negotiations between the Great Sui and the Great Shang, the two kings of Wei and Ying were on the side of the Great Sui, hoping that the Great Shang would be willing to inject water into the Three Kingdoms.
Iraq, for its part, wants water from the Ural River.
Big Shang is the natural hegemon of Eastern Europe.
Just this territory, this geographical location, determines that it is a hegemonic country.
The Great Sui also had the ambition of hegemony, so it is understandable that the Great Shang was unwilling to supply water to the Great Sui.
Unless the old emperor speaks.
But the old emperor also couldn't open this mouth, because it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to go to the border line of the Eurasian continent to inject water into the countries, and it would cost too much money, and the courtiers would not agree.
This time, Da Sui and Da Wei broke the ice and cooperated, in fact, he wanted to save the country and get the water of the Ural River.
In the end, after several rounds of negotiations, Yi decided to buy land on the west coast of the Caspian Sea, and he also wanted to pay a sum of money to the Great Sui for the purchase of guano.
Why don't you need farmland?
The problem is, even if you get farmland, there is no water for irrigation.
Among all the feudal states, Yi is the poorest, all deserts, with a population of only two million, which has not increased or decreased over the years, and the main one has a low sense of existence.
The two countries of the People's Republic of China and the United Kingdom still have to sell oil, and the sense of existence is quite high, and there is nothing in Iraq, only desert tourism.
This time I got an oasis.
He also wanted to settle his old suspicions with Wei Guobing, because he wanted to get the water injection of the Ural River.
The environment can be governed slowly, King Yi has this patience, he is still young, and when he succeeded the domain, his mother clan gave him a large sum of money.
His mother was Song Shuqing, and the Song family gave him enough financial support.
He was the most powerful tree grower among the princes.
In the 20 years after the feudal domain, he planted 20 billion trees, and every day he was either planting trees or on the way to planting trees, and the people said that he was the emperor of tree planting.
Iraq has the smallest population, the most trees, and the environment is visible to the naked eye.
A hundred years from now, maybe the country of Iraq will also be lush.
This is Zhu Jianchu's greatest wish.
Like him, Zhu Jianzhe, the king of Xu who was sealed in Xiyin, was also planting trees with his life, but he was not as fierce as him, after all, there was an oasis standing in his territory, and his territory was full of deserts.
Nothing but desert tourism.
There are many countries that are engaged in desert tourism, such as Weiguo, Britain, and Chu, all of which are engaged in desert tourism, and everyone is very different.
If it weren't for the fact that there was Yi Guo in Journey to the West, he would still be able to brush up on the presence of a wave of monkeys, otherwise there would be nothing.
The two brothers Zhu Youyu returned to Xudu with the King of Wei, Qiuming.
Tyumen discovered a huge oil field, and the old emperor said that there was an oil field here, which became a prophecy.
Now Xudu has become the richest city in Central Asia.
Xudu has the most complex transportation network in Central Asia, and from Xudu to the Ming Dynasty, Shang State, Yi State, Sui State, and the road to Xu State and Ning State is still under construction.
It won't be long before you get to all countries.
There are many pearls in Central Asia, such as Tashkent, Samarkand, Omsk, Yekaterinburg, Dushanbe, Kabul, etc., all of which are the top cities in Central Asia.
But none of these cities can be compared with Xu Du.
As the national capital of Wei, the Forbidden City of Wei was modeled after the Forbidden City in Beijing, but the area of construction exceeded one million square meters.
The Forbidden City is only 720,000 square meters.
The Forbidden City of Wei also built a Central Asian royal city, and a Western European royal city, three royal cities, which together formed the Forbidden City of Wei.
The Zhu Youyu brothers went around in Xudu for a day, and only walked through one commercial street.
This is the largest shopping street in the world!
Not the largest in Central Asia, but the largest in the world, there is no bigger commercial street in Daming than Xudu Commercial Street.
The total population of Xudu is only 8 million, which seems to be more than the people of Beijing.
Because when Xu Du built the city, the city was designed to be full of layers, so that people would not look chaotic, but also feel open and vast.
Unlike Beijing, which is a city where the old and the new alternate, the old city is surrounded by the new city, and the sense of hierarchy is not well designed.
Xudu is a new city, only about 30 years after its construction, everything is designed according to the new design concept, and the designer is still Kuaixiang.
According to the new situation of all the cities at that time, Kuaixiang summarized the new drawings designed.
The big cities of Great Wei are very scattered, and the population is not particularly large.
For example, Anyi in Yekaterinburg has a population of only 7 million; Tashkent has a population of 8.2 million; Samarkand, with a population of 7.9 million; Tomsk has a population of 6 million.
The old emperor once said that the development of Wei is the most balanced, and if you look at the population of large cities, you can see that there is no high concentration of urbanization, and it has long been the result of the failure of real estate development in Wei.
That's right, Wei real estate did not develop.
King Wei is still worried, in a large country with such a large population, real estate has not developed, there is no reservoir of real estate, and the common people seem to be rich, but in fact, they can't save a few dollars.
Their money will be pumped back by Daming like a pumping machine.
Because there are many good things in Daming, Daming products are suitable for investment, and many people of Wei have invested in Daming.
They feel that buying a house in Wei does not maintain its value, but buying a house in Daming will maintain its value.
Especially the railway, buy a house in Chang'an, and keep the value guaranteed.
As a result, houses in Chang'an are frighteningly expensive, and locals can't afford them, but housing prices remain high.
At that time, the financial officials were confused, because the housing prices could not fall, no one lived, and there were not so many people in Chang'an.
Later, I found out that they were all bought by Wei people.
When Zhu Jianjun saw the report, his whole face darkened.
The money we worked so hard to earn was all earned by Daming.
This is the disadvantage of being too close to the home country, it seems that you can get the help of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, it is pumped everywhere by the Ming Dynasty.
The key is that Daming did not deliberately pump water, and the people took the initiative to send money to Daming.
King Wei is trying to find a way to prevent domestic funds from going abroad.
He is also trying to find ways to increase housing prices, ensure that housing prices are preserved, and let domestic assets enter his own reservoir and not be sucked away by Daming.
After the dinner.
Zhu Youjin said in a daze: "Uncle Wei is eloquent and strategic, but I am afraid that in the future, there will be a situation where the sons will seize the heirs." ”
Because Zhu Jianjun's eldest son died, he did not establish a prince for a long time.
His sons were trying to compete for the throne.
"What does it have to do with the two of us?" Zhu Youyu also saw it.
None of his sons are peaceful, and sooner or later they will be killed.
"Stupid, let's go to the following domain, Wei is destined to be the hegemon of Central Asia, but he has no port, we are on the Black Sea, and the straight-line distance between Wei is just the distance between two small feudal states, and there will be frequent trade contacts in the future."
Zhu Youjin said: "The purchase of guano from the Sui State this time just shows how important the port is to the Wei State. ”
Zhu Youyu shook his head: "You only see the surface, but you don't see the deep layer." ”
"Looking for the Sui State to borrow a port is just the superficial intention of the Wei State."
"In the last Central Asian war, the Ming Dynasty planted the seeds of chaos in Central Asian countries, how smart Uncle Wei was, how could he not see it?"
"It's nothing more than buying guano this time to spit out some barren and water-scarce land and hand it over to the countries."
"You look at the map, this time the land was changed, and what Wei took out was an area of extreme water shortage, and the Xu State and Yi State, which got the territory, were already short of water, didn't this make matters worse?"
"It seems that Wei Guo is selling well, but in fact, it is digging a pit for Xu Guo and Yi Guo to jump."
"Such rotten land is given to the two countries, and they will go further and further on the road of lack of water in their lives, and it is impossible to get water from the Ural River."
Zhu Youyu saw it thoroughly: "Our successor is on the Black Sea, and he won't trade with us." ”
"Because we don't have a stake."
"The deep-seated reason for this cooperation with the Sui State is water."
"That hellish place in Turkey is also a water-scarce place."
"But much better than Central Asia."
"We don't have a handle in the hands of Wei State, and Wei State and we have no entanglement of interests, after this meeting, we will not have anything to do with Wei State in our lives."
These words made Zhu Youjian's face red.
"Who do you think Uncle Wei is?" Zhu Youjin also felt that the second brother was right.
"Hmph, not a good person anyway."
Zhu Youyu sneered: "He even takes advantage of his brother, how good will he be to a nephew like us who has never met?" ”
"Wake up, there's no good in relying on others."
"If you don't believe it, just wait and see, with this plan of water injection, you can control the Three Kingdoms of Sui and Yixu for 10,000 years, and in the end, no one will get a drop of water."
Zhu Youjin opened his mouth, but he didn't help King Wei speak after all.
"We are the two of us in the Black Sea, and we will be enemies in the future, will you do the same to me?" Zhu Youjin looked at the second brother.
"You kid dig a pit for me to jump again?"
Zhu Youyu sneered: "Third child, this is not in the palace, so you don't need to pretend to be a brother and a friend in front of your grandfather." ”
"When Grandpa had the strongest brain, did you ever think about letting me be my brother?"
"You didn't let me, why should I let you?"
These words directly tore apart the brotherhood.
Everyone will be neighbors and enemies in the future.
Now it is much better to break the bullshit brotherhood as soon as possible than when you kill the red eye in the future, when you bully your sister-in-law and bully your daughter-in-law.
Zhu Youjin didn't speak, but returned to his bedroom.
All night, he tossed and turned.
It's not that I think the second brother is ruthless, because he is the most wilted.
He was wondering if he could get benefits from Wei, he was the king of Liao, and he was sealing most of the territory west of Turkey, bordering Sui and Wei, not far from the Caspian Sea.
In the future, we will inevitably do more business with Weiguo.
In fact, part of the territory to the west of Turkey has been swallowed up by the Sui State, which has already occupied the Caspian Sea and the southern shore of the Black Sea.
King Wei also got an oasis.
Early the next morning, the brothers became brothers and sisters again.
The next stop is Anyi in Wei, and then board the train from Anyi to Samarkand, and then go all the way south to visit Yi.
From Iraq to India, visit the five kings of India, and then take a boat to the feudal country.
In the feudal state, he also visited the Sui state, the Wei state and the British state.
As the brothers Zhu Youyu and Zhu Youjin left, Zhu Jianjun was also thinking, why did the old emperor send these two brothers to visit Wei?
The old emperor wants he, an uncle, to help a bunch of nephews?
This is not like the style of the old emperors.
Suddenly, he understood that the old emperor had seen through his use of water to play with the hearts of the princes, so he sent the emperor and grandson to beat him.
Stop him from going overboard.
"Lone, this father, I really want a bowl of water, Lone, the Great Wei, is the overlord of Central Asia, can't you rub a few small countries?"
"You didn't destroy the country, and you didn't kill your own brothers, why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhu Jianjun's face was full of amusement, and he was stunned: "No, if my father cared about the vassal king, he wouldn't have issued that holy decree to sow discord!" ”
"What he means is, look at the reality of my Wei State, he wants to use troops against Wei State!"
"No, no...... It is to instigate the Central Asian countries to fight and jointly bite our Wei country! ”
"The old emperor is so ruthless!"
Zhu Jianjun exclaimed, he must immediately prepare for war.
Those two unconscious nephews will definitely tell the Central Asian countries about the truth of my Wei country, and when the time comes, the Central Asian countries will jointly attack Wei, what should I do?
No, no, the most terrible thing is not to be attacked by the countries.
It's that the heir has not been decided, as long as he dies alone, the Wei State will fall apart in an instant, and when the time comes, the rivers and mountains will be great, either the feudal kingdom will be cheap, or the Ming dynasty will be cheap.
Old emperor, you are so ruthless!
Zhu saw that he was in a hurry, so he had to immediately establish a reserve.
But it can't stand.
Prince Wei died of illness when he was sixty years old in Jingtai, leaving behind three sons, all of whom are now very old but ambitious.
He had nine sons, one who died, and eight.
There are two more sisters-in-law.
But there are two concubines between the eldest son and the second son, and those two are also ambitious, not that he doesn't want to establish a prince, but he can't do it.
The quickest solution is to seal the foreign vassal and become an independent king.
However, the fourth child is a soft character, and once he inherits the throne of Wei, he may be bullied.
If the second child is established, the third child will definitely not accept it, as long as he dies, the Wei country will be chaotic.
In fact, his prince of Wei is his most satisfied son, Yunwen Yunwu, and he is very powerful, after all, his father trained him.
However, he died of illness without a holiday.
If he forcibly establishes a successor, the fourth child will not be able to support the family business.
If the second child is established, the third child will definitely turn the sky upside down, and the three little cubs of the prince's family will not stop.
If you directly set up a grandson, there will be a scene of Jianwen cutting the domain, and it will still be chaotic.
Zhu Jianjun was very depressed.
And seeing that the old emperor sealed Zhu Youyu and Zhu Youjian, and gave him new inspiration, he could seal the ambitious older son outside, and send him as far away as possible, I don't know how long it will take to fight back.
But there are drawbacks to this, he is still young, what if the son he set up dies again?
Zhu Jianjun is in a dilemma on the left and difficult on the right.
He simply didn't want to divide it.
